Look forward to a great atmosphere at the Il Sommelier restaurant in Trudering
Il Sommelier – Italian delights and a great passion for wine in Trudering
In the heart of Trudering, you'll find Il Sommelier, a restaurant that makes it clear from the moment you step inside that atmosphere is paramount. The interior is modern and elegant, without feeling cold or overly formal. Warm tones, high-quality materials, and a pleasant tranquility create the perfect setting for a leisurely dinner.
Culinary-wise, the quality of the ingredients is clearly the focus. The dishes don't feel overloaded and don't need to hide behind countless components. Instead, you get fresh products, precise preparation, and combinations where the individual flavors remain clearly discernible.
Of course, wine also plays an important role – after all, it's right there in the restaurant's name. The wine pairing therefore fits seamlessly into the restaurant's concept and is especially enjoyable with a multi-course meal. So don't miss out on it during your visit in November.
I also found the service particularly pleasant. We were looked after attentively and professionally throughout the evening, without the visit feeling too formal. It's precisely this combination of a sophisticated restaurant, a personal atmosphere, and warm hospitality that makes Il Sommelier a little gem in Trudering for me. Plenty of reasons for you to pay a visit, too.
Simplicity on the plate that impresses with convincing combinations and aromas.
The five-course menu in November 2026
From November 1st to 30th, 2026 at Il Sommelier, you can look forward to an exclusive five-course menu that perfectly encapsulates the restaurant's cuisine: high-quality products, clear flavors, and plates that are deliberately uncluttered. Visually, there's not much going on – but given the restaurant's quality, that's perfectly fine.
Even before, or rather together with, the first course, the evening begins with a sparkling wine. This can change; during our visit we were served a delicious one rosé sparkling wine - fresh, lively, and just the right start to get you in the mood for the courses to come.
The first course is then a red prawn tartare with coconut jelly on the table. For me, it was one of the highlights of the evening: delicate, fresh, and wonderfully balanced in flavor. The prawn remains the clear focus, while the coconut jelly adds a slightly exotic touch. Together with the crisp rosé, this starter works particularly well and immediately whets the appetite for the remaining courses.
I also particularly enjoyed the second course: Pumpkin flan with Parmesan cream. The flan is wonderfully delicate and creamy, the Parmesan cream adding spice and depth. A combination that sounds quite simple at first glance, but wins you over from the very first bite and, for me, along with the prawn tartare, ranks among the strongest courses of the menu. It is served with the Petrara Verdicchio di Matelica DOC from Borgo Paglianetto. The white wine brings a pleasant freshness and clear structure, thus forming a nice counterpoint to the creaminess of the pumpkin flan and the savory Parmesan cream.
Then follow Tortelli with truffle cream – a course that delivers exactly what you'd expect: delicate pasta, a creamy texture, and the intense aroma of truffle. Here, too, the presentation remains pleasantly understated, focusing entirely on the flavor. A glass of truffles awaits. Albia 2024 Toscana IGT by Ricasoli 1141. It pleasantly complements the creamy and earthy notes of the truffle cream without overpowering the dish's flavor.
Juicy and buttery soft veal fillet mignon with mashed potatoes.
For the main course, you can expect a classic – Veal fillet mignon with mashed potatoes. The fillet was exceptionally tender and perfectly cooked during our visit. It really doesn't take much more: a good purée, a high-quality cut of meat, and precise preparation. Sometimes, this very reduction is the greatest strength of a dish. The dish is a perfect complement. Taremi Syrah Terre Siciliane IGT from Pellegrino 1880. After the lighter wines of the previous courses, something more robust is welcome here. The Syrah pairs beautifully with the veal fillet and adds further depth to the main course. Anyone who enjoys red wine will love this combination.
To finish, there’s a classic: crème brûlée, the sweet fifth course. Creamy inside and with the typical crisp caramelized surface, it is an uncomplicated but very harmonious end to the menu.
The complete five-course menu costs 79 € per person.. Those who also opt for the wine pairing will pay 99 € per person including 4 x 0.1 l wine pairings. This begins with the changing sparkling wine to accompany the prawn tartare and then continues with the Petrara Verdicchio, the Albia Toscana and the Taremi Syrah to the main course.
For me, this menu is a perfect example of how fine dining doesn't necessarily have to consist of as many components as possible on each plate. If the ingredients are fresh, the product quality is excellent, and the preparation is precise, a dish can even be deliberately simple – and that works very well at Il Sommelier. See for yourself.
My verdict and how to book
My visit to Il Sommelier impressed me most as a whole. The restaurant offers a wonderful ambiance where you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive and simultaneously realize you're treating yourself to a special evening. Added to this is the exceptionally attentive service. We were guided through the entire menu in a friendly and professional manner, yet still had ample time to savor each course. Culinary-wise, I particularly appreciated the fact that there was no attempt to overload each plate unnecessarily. The first and second courses were especially delicious, and the veal fillet in the main course was wonderfully tender. When the quality of the ingredients is so high, sometimes you really don't need much else.
